LIFT Office House Rules, Policies and Terms of Use

At Lift Office, we “work for ourselves, not by ourselves” and that means we’ve all made the decision to share space. To make sure our space works well for every member, we created guidelines and policies. Violators may face termination.

Dedicated Space
Members with a dedicated space are welcome to setup their space as they choose; however, please do not nail, tape, or screw anything to the floor or walls of The LIFT Office without obtaining approval from The LIFT Office.

Guest Policy
Visitors welcome! Our current guest policy is flexible as we encourage an active and open coworking environment.
All guests are required to sign in at the host desk and abide by all of the house rules and policies stated herein.
If you have a guest visiting for longer than 2 hours you should either: (1) buy a day pass, or (2) utilize conference room hours (subject to availability).
If you are a hosting a guest at TLO, you are solely responsible for the actions and behavior of your guests during their visit at TLO.

Key Holder
A LIFT Office key-holder is deemed to be any person who takes possession of keys and is issued a security code. All key-holders must have successfully passed a background check. Key-holders acknowledge and accept responsibility for the security of the doors. Key-holders should not compromise the building security and ensure that all reasonable measures are taken to safeguard The LIFT Office. The LIFT Office doors are to remain unlocked during normal business hours except holidays. At no time, should the security system be bypassed and the external doors should never be propped open while unattended. Non-key holders are not allowed to be present at TLO without the presence of a hosting key-holder. Keys and security codes are not transferable and should not be lent out at any time to anyone for any reason. Lending keys or sharing security codes will result in termination of your Membership.

Access Policy
Key holders who have passed a background check and are in good standing financially are granted 24/7 access.
Shared members and Day Pass holders have access during normal business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, except holidays.

Behavior Policy
Respect different working styles. Some people prefer quiet and some enjoy frequent breaks to be social. The Lift Office happily accommodates both. If you prefer to work in quiet, headphones or ear buds send a great signal that you’re in “private space”. If you are the office social butterfly (and we all love that person), please notice the “I’m busy now” cues.
The kitchen is a sacred space – please help keep it clean. In fact, we ask that you leave it better than you found it! If you spill, wipe it up. Put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The refrigerator is cleaned out weekly. No weeping if your food is gone. Best practice is to empty your food each day. We offer coffee, tea, and snacks.
Respect common space (conference rooms, fire place space, open seating…). The space is there for a reason and we hope you love using all of it. Please remember others will be following you, so pick up what you have brought to the space and leave a pleasant environment for the next person.
Recycle. We encourage the use of glassware – not water bottles. Look for opportunities to live green and reduce your footprint and that of The Lift Office.
Respect the Community Board. This is the place to learn about community events, and post wants, needs, and cool ideas. It is not the place to post political, religious, or other polarizing information.
Be kind, thoughtful and friendly – with words and deeds. Share well with others. Be thoughtful with the conference room space. If you booked it and don’t need it, please remove it from the calendar. Take care of spills. Cleaning supplies can be found in the cabinet by the kitchen sink. Speak up if there are maintenance issues.

The following Terms of Use may be somewhat lengthy, but we want to be careful to ensure that everyone is properly protected. Please feel free to contact us at info@theliftoffice.com with any questions regarding these terms.

Insurance

The LIFT Office will carry Liability and Business Personal Property insurance that covers The LIFT Office. MEMBER’s property is NOT covered by The LIFT Office insurance.

That policy may cover your current residence/office, as well as the premises of The LIFT Office.

If MEMBER is hosting an event that includes serving alcohol, MEMBER is required to provide a proof of liability insurance (also known as Certificate of Insurance) and must list TCBE Investments, LLC and Thomas R Miller Company, as additional insured on this event.
